Jewellery Care Guide

At Class A Jewellers, we know your jewellery holds more than just beauty – it carries stories, memories and meaning. With the right care, your pieces can be treasured and worn for a lifetime, and passed down for generations to come. To help you keep them looking their best, we’ve put together some simple care tips and advice. And if you ever need a little extra guidance, our team is always here to share their expertise and ensure you continue to enjoy your jewellery for years ahead.

STORAGE

Store each piece of jewellery separately in a soft cloth pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching, tangling, or damage.

Keep your jewellery away from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight, as these factors can tarnish or degrade certain metals and gemstones.

Wear and Handling

Remove your jewellery before activities like exercising, swimming or gardening to help prevent damage or loss. Keep your pieces away from harsh chemicals such as household cleaners, as these can corrode metals and harm gemstones. Always handle your jewellery gently, avoiding unnecessary force or pressure that could cause bending, scratching or breakage. As a simple habit, we recommend making your jewellery the last thing you put on in the morning and the first thing you take off at night.

CLEANING

We recommend cleaning your jewellery regularly to keep its shine and brilliance. All pieces made by Class A Jewellers are eligible for complimentary lifetime cleaning, and no booking required. During each clean, our jewellers will also carefully inspect your piece to ensure no repairs are needed.

If you’d prefer to clean your jewellery at home, here are some simple tips:

Use a soft-bristled brush, warm water and mild soap to gently remove dirt, oil and residue.
For delicate or intricately designed pieces, use a soft cloth to wipe away dust and grime.
Be extra cautious with soft gemstones such as pearls, opals and emeralds, as they are particularly delicate. Keep them away from chemicals, heat and prolonged sunlight to avoid damage.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance helps keep your jewellery looking beautiful and ensures it lasts for generations. Inspect your pieces from time to time for loose stones, worn claws or other signs of wear. We recommend having your jewellery professionally checked and serviced by our qualified jewellers at least once a year to keep it in optimal condition.

Whenever you bring Class A jewellery in for a complimentary clean, our team will also carry out a professional inspection to make sure your piece is secure and in good repair.

For white gold jewellery, keep in mind that its bright, reflective finish comes from rhodium plating. To maintain its lustre, we suggest having your white gold rings re-rhodium plated every 12–18 months.
